Guitar-smashing weirdo paid $4000 to smash a fake
  • I don't think you can call it a fake, from what I understand the charity has a guitar along with a CD insert signed by Swift. It's actually kind of funnier if he wasn't duped, just not smart why to know what he was bidding on, lol

  • Nintendo shuts down Switch emulator Ryujinx
  • As with Yuzu, I won't be buying any more switch games. I'll still be playing switch games, and so will my friends, but we won't my buying them.

    Honestly, I've lived watching emulators for decades. They can come and go and there's always more, even ones that aren't forks. Just today I was reminiscing on my first emulators, zsnes, no$gmb and nesticle. Y'all remember the peaceful zsnes snowfall? Good times.

  • great time to be a teen.
  • Yes but without sigma how are they going to sum algebraic formulae? How will they express the population standard deviation? How will they determine significance if they can't set an alpha?

    Also I guess Ohio might matter if it's a history class or something, who the fuck knows.

  • So close
  • I'm always reminded of the great passage from the Bible, "Lets-a-go!" (Nintendo 16:64).

    However, given the correct answer, I'm reminded of another verse, "It does what Nintendon't" (Genesis 8:16 KNCKLS).

  • Despite all my rage I'm still just a cat and a mage
  • Oh for sure, but let's say I'm running the model locally using my GPU instead of, say, using it to play a game using that GPU. It's all technically wasteful, but by that standard everything we use our computers for are wasteful. I'm not even sure if running it locally counts for usage statistics, either, although I suppose download counts could.

    Granted, I don't like the wasteful use of AI models (especially unsolicited bullshit from copilot) and I certainly don't like the use of stolen material for corporate gain, but I've never been against individuals using pirated software, music, video, etc, for personal usage even before AI.

    Don't have an argument against it normalizing the behavior, though. I'd like to believe there's an ethical way to adopt new technology without screwing some people over, but that's probably not possible under capitalism.

  • {Series and Serious} 1. What do you feel [Anger] about? Why?
  • Everyday angry is usually due to stupid and/or entitled people, but as a teen I experienced blind rage before and that's a lot harder to explain. You kind of blank out and go after someone, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, truly beast mode. That was usually from bullying or dealing with my alcoholic father, though.

    Now a days anger is probably closer to irritation than anything. Which is kind of a shame, I used to use anger to get things done. I once was so angry at a teacher for an unfair C in an art class that I channeled that into the most haunted self portrait I think he ever saw for the final. I ultimately got an A. Does spite count as it's own emotion? Lol

  • Changing coffee beans: What do you do when there aren't enough beans to make a final brew?
  • I usually mix grounds and deal with a weird cup but you can also mix a small number of grounds with vanilla ice cream as a topping. I'm sure it can be an additive to a few other things, as long as it's fine enough but to disrupt the texture of things too much.

  • Poe's law rule
  • I was a little confused too (plus it doesn't help that the joke itself isn't very clear) but I'll boil down my own thinking:

    • The Dunning Kruger effect is just that people bias towards thinking themselves more knowledgeable than they are when they lack expertise.
    • The brain is probably human, and maybe healthy, if Google image search is to be believed. I've had anatomy classes with very dead brains to look at and brains certainly look like that (?) but plenty of primate brains look that way, too.
    • I think OPs joke is that the second brain is the same, only measured differently because of said bias.
    • It's likely everyone in the comments have limited expertise and thus may be demonstrating said effect by correcting one another.

    I'm still not getting the joke but I think it's funny enough that us commenters of commenters are questioning things and might be the only ones not experiencing the Dunning Kruger effect. Lol

  • Polls Show J.D. Vance Performing Favorably Among Men Who Think the Bartender Is Flirting With Them
  • See also:

    • Men who think the barista likes them because they read their name from a cup.
    • Men who think they don't need to tip their waitress and instead leave their number instead.
    • Men who expect a happy ending when getting a massage and again, don't leave a tip when they're sent away without one.
  • Capitalism rule
  • Felt a bit heavy handed in writing, but once I got to the asshole "sell a cow and buy a bull" I laughed because I've actually seen that idiotic meme before. Gets a pass from me!
